Parks don’t just happen. People make parks happen. It is up to each and every one of us who value parks to find our own special way to help protect the treasures found in all of the green space and special places that make parks an identifiable resource that enhance the quality of life right where we live.
How you make parks happen depend on how you choose to give. There are a variety of ways to help. You can give of your time, your talents or your financial resources. Any way you choose to help can make a significant difference in the protection of the land we leave for future generations.
